Golden Band Resources Inc. announced suspension of mining operations including its mining and milling operations at the Roy Lloyd and Golden Heart mines and the Jolu mill, is now almost complete with only an exploration drill program still in progress. The 5,000 metre exploration drill program will be completed by the end of January. All operational areas were shut down so that they will be available for start-up in as short as time as possible. The suspension is for an indefinite time beginning February 1, 2014. As part of the suspension of operations a re-evaluation of operations will take place during the shutdown period. For the duration of the suspension access to the various sites will be restricted and a crew of maintenance and watchmen will be on site at all times to ensure security.

The company reported that Gordon Reed, General Manager, has elected to leave his position.
